From the lens of our local veterinarian Dr. Gary Cash, these Sandhill Cranes are going airborne. Photo was taken in northern Deaf Smith County. With permission, we retrieved it from Dr. Cash’s Facebook page on which he posts many excellent outdoor and wildlife photos.

Enjoyed a Thanksgiving weekend in Denton. My daughter Megan lives there and goes to UNT. My son Casey lives in Frisco and oldest daughter Candee lives in Coppell so Denton was a central location for visiting. Son Zac came up from Austin for a short visit too. I left here on Thanksgiving day so avoided a lot of traffic. Was grateful for all the places that were open along the way for fuel and snacks.
